Verve is on a mission to secure the world’s critical infrastructure providers by bringing the tools and techniques of defense-in-depth strategies employed by best-in-breed IT practices to OT (Operational Technology).

We’re a team of software developers, controls engineers, product managers, designers, and security professionals working to build software solutions that keep the bedrock of modern-day life safe: power, oil, gas, water, chemicals, medicine and other industries.

The development team responsible for Verve’s Agentless Device Inventory (ADI) product is looking to add an experienced Python developer.
